The list can go on and on. However, it’s nearly impossible to monitor these and the many other factors all the time. Besides, we’ve not even started talking about the right lures, line and retrieve speed, and much more. With that in mind, I picked out several fishing factors that I believe are key to catching fish in the species and number I'm shooting for. Many times, this means thinking outside the box. Thinking about tactics that may take the guesswork out of fishing. Try to narrow down the most important thing that makes a difference between a good day and a not-so-good day. I evaluate the strategies that I've been using and make sure they're still working for me the way I need them to. It's important to continually do this since things change like the seasons, bait movement, weather and much more. So, I choose a group of these factors and pursue them because they work for me. Again, some of my tactics can be considered unorthodox by some fishermen and they probably are, but they work.
You can start by developing your own list of "fishing factors". See what works best for you. Take the time to make a list like the ones listed above. Start to try them out and see what works best in your area. Monitor your results, make notes and compare those notes. Look for a combination of factors that result in only a good day to a great day of fishing. The “fishing factor” strategy takes both effort and time, but it pays with positive results. It's a great way to take your inshore fishing to the next level and is guaranteed to be far better than getting your fishing off social media websites or other sources that many times are not very dependable. Customize you "fishing factors" for your type of fishing and location. Most importantly, keep detailed notes on your factors, their successes, and when you used them.
